That doesn't make me a moron, it makes me heartless. Get it right. Yeah, I'm dead inside. And don't expect any sympathy from me should YOU ever be attacked by a pit bull. You will have obviously gotten what you deserve, as these dogs are angels and pure as the driven snow.

My white-trash neighbor has two pits. They are constantly getting out of the back yard and charging and snarling at people on the street. They have, on numerous occasions, attempted to attack me and my dog in my own back yard. I told the owner in no uncertain terms that if their dogs ever did that again to me, I WOULD kill them. I will kill it, I would be completely justified, and I won't appologize for protecting myself from a dangerous animal.



In that case, I say you would be justified. The owner sounds irresponsible and obviously cares little for the behavior of his dogs.

I have neighbors like that too. Their dogs are constantly loose and hanging out at the fence to my backyard, where my pit bull spends hours running up and down the fenceline "playing" with them. The dogs are fotunately not mean, as there are lots of kids playign in the streets, but a responsible dog owner makes sure his or her animal is properly housed and not running loose. Especially if the dogs are agressive towards other dogs and people.

However, your example is a far cry for what happened to Yogi's two APBTs. Someone breaking into his backyard and murdering his two dogs that had threatened no one was as much property distruction as a thief breakign into your hosue and vandelizing it. Even more so since the person ruthlessly killed two living breathing dogs that never hurt anyone.
